Listener, listen

what i've to say is'nt important
this silence here - is important

Silence is'nt talkative thats what they say
or else why would it be silence.

yet i know, when it talks, its a pit-pat , pit-pat, pit-pat..

it could be that rain thats raining....
it could be a wet leaf nodding....
it could be anything at anytime....

And i 'll tell you this is'nt logic
that's how it is.

Ah this silence

40 days in the desert Christ was listening
Alone , under a bodhi tree Buddha was listening
looking at the moonlight Mohamed was listening...
they all were listening silently to silence.

We 're here to be listeners  -  listening to Silence

Sadness could be turned inside out
Happiness could be turned upside down.

so listen....
Find out how prayerful it is

how many times i've seen it transfigure this world
You and with everything in it
from the speck of dust to the tall mountains

i've learnt so much from your words
but much more from the awe in your silences

Every elevation that elevate
every word that elevate
elevating even beyond the knowledge of that word
elevates  from silence
elavates from its sacredness

Gaze into it as much as you listen
like you'd do before a dawn
and let it fall into your ears
delivering the deepest secrets of this world.


ah this silence
listen
how God pours into you when silence pours into you

Silence is not bankrupt, its full of words
so different than in the books
you're emotional alphabets have been writing
so deeply , so deeply inside you all the time.
